Answer:

Oceanic crust is younger crust . Well, It is because, an oceanic crust is formed when a continental crust undergoes a big tension crack due to the forces generated inside the earth, which may be because of the magma dwelling inside. As the crack becomes prominent, the continent is broken into the segments with a big oceanic basin kind of structure between them (This takes millions and millions of years). Sediments deposit in the basin and get stratified to form the oceanic crust. This is the reason that oceanic crust is younger than the continental crust.

Answer:

The oldest crust is about 260 million years old. This sounds old but is actually very young compared to the oldest continental rocks.

9. In guinea pigs, rough coat is dominant (R) to smooth coat (r) and black coat (B) is dominant to white coat (b). A rough black

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

the genotype of the parent guinea pigs are as follows:

RrBb (rough, black) and Rrbb (rough, white)

Explanation:

Since the phenotype of smooth coat is present in the offspring, the parent genotype cannot have RR alleles for their coat. Similarly, the rough, black parent cannot have BB alleles in its genotype because that will not yield a white coat color in its offspring.

After making the dihybdrid cross, the probability obtained for each phenotype is given below:

rough black: $\frac{3}{8}$

rough white: $\frac{3}{8}$

smooth black: $\frac{1}{8}$

smooth white: $\frac{1}{8}$

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!

Answer: Go to a shelter farther inland on higher ground.

Explanation:

A hurricane is a tropical cyclone in which the air rotates in low pressure. It is an organized thunderstorm which has no fronts (a boundary that separates the two air masses which are of typically of different densities). The speed of the wind in this cyclone is 74 mph.

Go to a shelter farther inland on higher ground. is the correct approach. This is because of the fact that hurricane can cause the flow of water from the river at high tide. Thus it will be suitable that a person attains a shelter to higher grounds to keep itself save.
